Post Match NZ Warriors v Newcastle Knights - [Round 3, 2026]

[Defence]

We’ve got so many guys who are good at getting to their front and creating a quick play the ball- the other sides are really struggling to slow down our ruck without giving away penalties and six agains.
The way the games being officiated now suits us to a tee.

 

[Evil_Mush]

My lovely beautiful Warriors

 

[Beastmode]

Tannah just oozing with confidence right now… what a sight compared to when he last played the knights

 

[WAsupporter]

That last 15 minutes had me sweating bullets let me give you the tip. I’ve seen too many false dawns with our club. But there’s something cooking

 

[CWC]

Ya can’t drop Boyd who’s steering the ship so well now, probably No.1 half stats wise rn? Luke 6 CHT 14 and we don’t need to worry when a half get injured mid game

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Webby is such a great coach. Look at the discipline, passion and camaraderie this team has. Look at our depth due to the wider off field staff and the owner's investment. The big tests are ahead, but the way this team plays football makes me proud.

The Roosters and Knights both listening to the coach moaning poor us over the ref during games is such a contrast.

I'll leave others to deservedly praise individuals, but I just wanted to say that Taine seems like an amazing young personality. I thought his post match interview last week was the most engaging I've heard, and the thought to pass to Hanson there was special (if very risky).

Jackson Ford and Tanah Boyd are just getting better and better. How about this for effort...

I love this for these two. Not got enough for their previous clubs and some would argue that, a year ago, they weren't good enough for this club.

Absolute stand outs for the first three games.

Amazing.

 

[Teets]

Cleary ball thriving with the 6 agains. Decent little sample size now and probably no coincidence Panthers/Dogs/Warriors all undefeated.

Luke 6 CHT 14 and we don’t need to worry when a half get injured mid game

Which Luke?

 

[Bluecat]

WOW!!
I was hoping Ford would get to take a conversion. Fairytale stuff for him and Hanson.
Not so much for Gannon. Hope he's ok
We are looking so good. Unbelievable what the club is putting together. Runaway tries to props and halves. I'm loving it so far.
Metcalf to come back through the reserve grade maybe? I wouldn't want to move Tanah while he's having fun.
One concern I have is Leka from today. He didn't look right when he scored and he was hobbling in the second half. I don't like him at centre even in emergencies. Hes so much better at 2nd row. I'm not sure he likes being there either
2 more points and a great for and against and a couple of players at the top of the Dally M.
Somebody pinch me. Or maybe don't. I'm loving this

Bit disappointed that our average points for has taken a hit from that game.

ABSOLUTELY.

Webby found out for the fraud he is.

Good to see that with Luke H, what we've got here is not failure to communicate.

Cleary ball thriving with the 6 agains. Decent little sample size now and probably no coincidence Panthers/Dogs/Warriors all undefeated.

Maintain discipline.

It's pretty simple:

Be fitter.
Argue less.
Do less dumb shit.

 

[BlackToko88]

Gonna give Niukore some props, thought he was hella solid.

Boyd was playing like Joey and is full of confidence. Taine looked really good.

Thought Ali handled best nicely (albeit one defensive lapse).

Team js building nicel

 

[Gods_17]

Solid game. Still looking the goods.

This seasons going to get zesty when Metcalf is healthy again.

Enter LM's Speed, and hey, look AK-P is up for offer when called upon. Fu(king Brilliant!

 

[KPWarrior]

Gotta hand it to the Knights, they gave it a good crack.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

When you have the aussie commentators saying we got a leg up from the refs. We're obviously doing something right. Making them cry over the ditch. Well done boys!

Tannah & Ford MOTM.

Taine adds so much xfactor.

Marata played well. Looks huge.

Congratulations on your debut Hanson.

Who called it that LH would score on debut



They owe Taine a beer lol

Wasn't me, but it made my day!
Some how I picked 4 out of 5 try scorers (from when I opened the TAB app).

 

[Beastmode]

Solid game. Still looking the goods.

This seasons going to get zesty when Metcalf is healthy again.

Scoring a try, right on the buzzer (again) is absolute cinema.

So er. You wanna talk about Metcalf vs Tannah or what??

Tannah 7
Metcalf 6

Done

Aussie media had plenty to say after our first two wins apparently it was only because Auckland was wet and cold. Never mind that it didn’t even rain in the first game, and both games were actually pretty warm.
Now today’s win will probably get blamed on it being too hot in Newcastle.
Here’s a better idea: maybe this Warriors team can actually play.
Top of the table. Up yours, Aussie media, I am talking about you Greg Alexander

He owes me $120. Needed him to complete my 4 leg TAB bet. Khant.

Happy enough for the win.
